Definitions
- the invention relates to a test device for a semiconductor component, which has at least one first contact, with at least one second contact for establishing an electrical connection to the first contact.
- Test devices are used to check the functionality of semiconductor components after their manufacture.
- the semiconductor component, the device under test, which has first contacts, is applied to the test device, the first contacts being connected to second contacts of the test device in order to establish an electrical connection. Predetermined potentials are applied to some of the second contacts.
- the signals supplied by the semiconductor component are then tapped at other second contacts and sent to an evaluation.
- the configuration of the second contacts of the test device is described, for example, in the article by BJ Thompson, “Get grip on RF components”, from Test and Measurement World, May 1994, page 73 ff.
- a section of this article is shown in FIG
- the second contacts that is to say the contacts of the test device, are connected to the test device such that they can be rotated about a horizontal elastomer axis
- a stamp contact pressure block
- the second contacts wear over time. This roughen the surface of the second contacts.
- the contact resistance between the first and the second contact thus changes over time.
- the contact resistance which varies over time, can falsify the test results.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a test device for a semiconductor component which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the second contact is immobile with respect to the test device. This results in only small parasitic capacitances, since the distance between a first contact of the semiconductor component and a metal in the test device cannot vary. In addition, since there is no relative movement between the first contact and the second contact, there are hardly any signs of wear on the second contacts of the test device.
- the second contacts have the shape of a plate.
- the dimensions of the plate are preferably selected so that they are larger than the first contacts of the semiconductor component. This enables a safe contact.
- the plate due to its flat main side, the plate can be easily connected to a conductor track of the test device. The connection between the plate and the conductor track can be made, for example, by soldering.
- the second contacts preferably consist of a hard, highly conductive material. The harder the material, the less wear and tear will show up over time.
- the second contacts consist of beryllium copper. It would also be conceivable to produce the second contacts from platinum. Beryllium copper has the property that it has only a small mechanical expansion with fluctuating temperatures. The small expansion results in very small parasitic electrical components which practically do not influence the properties of the semiconductor component during the test process.
- the small parasitic electrical components can represent the parallel capacitance already mentioned above or a series inductance.
- the surface of the second contacts in such a way that they have tips.
- the tips can be in the form of a triangle, a polygon or any other shape.
- the distance between the tip of the surface of the second contact should, if possible, not be greater than the width of the tip on the surface of the second contact. Even with high mechanical loads it is then ensured that the tip cannot break.
- the tip is arranged on the surface of the second contact, which faces the first contact of the semiconductor component.
- the first contacts of the semiconductor component are then used for testing stamped onto the tips of the second contacts separately. It goes without saying that the pressure-applying stamp consists of an insulating material.
- Figure 2 shows a detail of Figure 1, which shows a first and a second contact enlarged.
- FIG 1 shows an embodiment of the invention
- Test device 8 has an insulating substrate 4, on which conductor tracks 10 are applied.
- the substrate 4 is in turn located on a carrier 5, which is connected to a semiconductor component 1 via a heat sink 6 and makes a mass-related, good heat-conducting contact with the semiconductor component 1.
- Each conductor track 10 is connected to a second contact 3.
- the second contact 3 is in the form of a plate, preferably made of beryllium copper. The second contact 3 is firmly connected to the conductor strip 4, for example by soldering.
- the second contact 3 has a tip 7 which is connected to a first contact 2 of a semiconductor component.
- the first contacts 2 are pressed onto the second contacts 3 by pressure. This situation should only be shown by the arrows.
- the pressure-exerting tool is not shown in FIG. 1.
- the printout Practicing tool ensures that the tips 7 of the second contacts 3 press slightly into the first contacts 2. As a result, a low contact resistance can be produced.
- the mechanical connection between the first contact 2 and the second contact 3 with its tip 7 is shown enlarged in FIG.
- the second contact 2 lies on the tip 7.
- the tool 7 (not shown) presses the tip 7 slightly into the first contact 2.
- the tip 7 is designed in the form of a triangle.
- the tip 7 could of course also be designed in the form of a polygon or any other shape. It is advantageous if the distance between the tip 7 and the surface 9 of a second contact 3 is less than the distance A.
- the tip 7 can be produced, for example, by milling the platelet, which is cuboid in cross section, from the surface 9.
- the second contact 3 preferably has a thickness D of 200 to 300 ⁇ m. This ensures a high durability of the second contact.
- the test device according to the invention shows a semiconductor component 1 in which the first contacts 2 are located on the side of its housing.
- the test device according to the invention in semiconductor components in which the first contacts come to rest below the housing.
- the second contacts 3 each have to be adapted to the layout of the first contacts 2 of the semiconductor component.
- a tool would then have to exert the pressure directly on the housing in order to establish a low-resistance connection between the first and the second contacts.
- the test arrangement according to the invention has significantly lower parasitic electrical components due to the second contacts which are immobile with respect to the test device. Since there are hardly any mechanical loads on the second contacts, long durability of the second contacts of the test device is guaranteed.
